Big Blue Huddle

That depth chart ought to be concerning.

Quote from: Trench on April 29, 2024, 07:56:00 AMFor those who feel this argument is still worthwhile, I'd love to know Jones career record against the NFC East and the individual teams in our division.

8-12-1 with 5 wins against Washington.

I know the Caps were the easiest draw for the Rangers but it's hard not to be impressed with a sweep - especially when the games were split 2-2 in the regular season.

As you say, Bread was impressive. A real nuisance and the secondary offensive players really stepped up.

Overall, hugely impressive. Well done.

I think it's a solid draft. Scored it a 4.

However, with so many holes everywhere, this ought to be the bare minimum expectation.

I do think the OLine will be better - some nice additions and a new coach - I can see why they didn't prioritise that position.

I would have liked a QB but circumstances dictate the elite ones weren't ready. And reaching for a lesser prospect will only prolong the problems with the position.

I'm in Greece this week so I won't be able to watch live as it starts even later than in the UK. Will avoid twitter and this thread and watch first thing in the morning.

I think the Caps will push hard early but they are decimated on D and the Rangers have too much firepower.

I think the rangers will win a close one but I'm fully expecting some shenanigans from Wilson so we have to protect ourselves.

Rangers to close out the series and rest up.

Quote from: Bob In PA on April 28, 2024, 12:31:12 AMI think it came down to the trade for Burns. 

With Pick 39, IMO they had enough ammo to buy Pick Three from the Pats (and take whomever - probably Maye).

So which would you rather have... Burns plus Nabers -or- Maye?  My favorite (Daniels) was already gone so I say they're better off with Burns and Nabers (and they still have next year's 1st-round pick in case they stink again this season).

Bob

I agree with you, Bob. I think that's the position they were in.

Burns and Nabers is a huge price to pay for the 3rd QB in any draft class.

Quote from: Ed Vette on April 27, 2024, 09:00:53 AMAlthough I think the Giants should keep Slay.

Better the devil you know, sometimes.

I'd keep him too

I'm guessing Jones is hoping so.

Right then, lads. Let's have it.

I got engaged this past Tuesday, we've been celebrating since. We are off to a Greek Island tomorrow so I have a cab in 4.5 hours. My approach of drinking through it and not napping ought to garner a reward.

Let's go 3 nil up but be prepared for the massive early Caps push.

LGR!

Nabers.

No but if they thought JJ or Penix were superior and potential franchise QB's they would have taken them, but they didn't they passed at #6, why?

You don't pass on a potential franchise QB if you are absolutely done with Daniel Jones as Rich Eisen pontificated all over the internet about 4-6 weeks ago.

The man was completely wrong and mislead a lot of viewers and Giant fans.

If you don't like DJ then that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I on the other hand feel with an adequate O line, a #1 explosive WR, and an slightly easier schedule, I believe DJ will have a bounce back year.

Enjoy

The DJ contract always meant he'd be on the team in September. I don't think anyone here disputed that.

Whether he's the guy after this coming season, is a big question. The contract is built with an exit clause.

I'm certain I heard Eisen say Jones won't be ready for September, which I've not read or heard elsewhere - he does seem to be over zealous in this approach (however, I may have misheard).

Nevertheless, in my opinion - there is no certainty around Jones' starting position come the end of the year. But if you believe that's the case, I cannot argue with that.

Somebody has to get him the ball. Jones, Lock, whoever.

Let's go. No excuses.

Quote from: T200 on April 25, 2024, 05:11:27 PMIf I were the GM, I wouldn't. But... Schoen is the man and has much more information and knowledge from his folks than I have. If he made that move, I trust his judgment more than mine.

I agree. Although he extended Jones, so if he only extended Jones, there's an issue in evaluation.

If we accept, as speculated on message boards, that Mara was involved in that. Fine, pull the trigger.

Joe knows he goes as far as this guy goes. So I'd be inclined to pull the trigger.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on April 25, 2024, 02:24:29 PMOh, did the OL magically become competent last year?

No but when the PFF guys are boardeine laughing at him for walking into almost half the Seattle game sacks, it might ring a bell that there's an issue.

Of course, JS might agree with you and then we run out of excuses.

Guess we will find out how he feels in a few hours.

Either way, my glass is half full for the future and I only want to win.
Cheers, lads.

Quote from: TONKA56 on April 25, 2024, 02:56:48 PMIMO Jones' health concerns have superceded any doubts that may linger about his ceiling of play. 

Generally he's already missed time. Availability is your biggest asset.
